As far as boxing skill goes Saunders is right up there with anyone GGG has fought before if not better than all of them. The worrying factor for me is his lack of power. For me he'd need to really make GGG wary of moving in to beat him and I seriously doubt he has the power to deter him in that way. It's certainly not a fight I'm opposed to though and as far as Saunders having an easier first defence? why? Champions should always fight the next best out there and if Saunders really thinks of himself as the champion then GGG is the man he needs to beat next.
